Outcome
formal notice (mise en demeure) subsequently lifted after SONATEL undertook to comply and correct the breaches; CDP issued a general deliberation on telecom-operator direct marketing
After hearing Sonatel, the CDP's plenary decided to lift the formal notice concerning the Folies d'Orange game, having examined the operator's official letter explaining its technical and organisational constraints in coming into conformity. Sonatel undertook to respect the rules on direct prospecting and to correct the breaches identified in the game's rollout.
Orders and outcome
The formal notice was lifted, and the Commission took the occasion to republish its deliberation of general application setting the conditions for direct prospecting by telecommunications operators. The communique itself is undated.
